The Five Golden Coins’ s Horrible History Pui Ching Primary School, Fung, Po Lam Esmond - 11 Ken was a kind, polite and sweet boy. He had long, black hair, two big, bright eyes and a tall nose. Every Tuesday, he went on the Angel mountain to find treasures because he thinks that finding them is secret and fun. One day in the morning, while he was walking along the grassland, he saw a big team of guys, who were hitting his best friend, Jill, he quickly ran to them to stop the arguing. Ken said loudly, “Hey! What are you doing? Get away from here, quickly, or you will be sorry!” But one man shouted back to Ken, “What are you doing here? I am Peter. Your friend knows where the last golden rock is and I must find it!” Later, Ken and Jill and the good pirates thought of a good idea: find the treasure together and share it. They thought this idea was great so they promised that they will not betray each other. They walked into a dark forest in the mountain to find the golden rock together. When they found it, they started a little argument again! The golden rock couldn’t be shared, and if they cut it into two big pieces, it will break! Oh no! How did they solve the problem? The pirates betrayed Ken and Jill. After that, the five pirates got it and brought it to their pirate ship, called The Ming Treasure. Jill knew that his friend, Ken was really disappointed, so Jill told him, “If you really want to find the pirates and the treasures, I can go with you next Saturday.” After Ken hearing Jill’s words, Ken suddenly felt moved and burst into tears. He cried out loudly and screamed, “Jill! I have been waited long for this moment. Let’s start sailing as soon as possible!” The following day, Jill bought a small wooden boat in the wood shop behind his family house. They met each other at 5 o’clock at the pier. Ken and Jill started to ride on their tiny boat in the evening. When it was dark, the boat shook a lot but the brave children still weren’t afraid. In midnight, they all slept deeply. Their boat rocked them as if it was singing a lullaby to Ken and Jill. When they woke up in the sunny morning, they founded that they were in an enormous pirate ship. All of a sudden, a loud voice made them feel dizzy. “Ahoy! Good morning! Tiny children! ” A young, tall pirate exclaimed loudly. Jill and Ken felt scared at that time. They thought, “Oh my goodness! Where are we?” The pirate captain replied, “Welcome to our ship, Ming Treasure! The good Captain Jackson saw another bad pirate ship called The Death Pearl with his long telescope and he knew that a war was starting very soon. Bang! The ship fired. “Fire! The treasure is mine!” Captain Jackson said loudly. The sky turned dark. The big waves hit the boat. Another pirate, Captain Garbish has searched for the last treasure, the last golden coin, for a long time already and live forever to kill pirates who stand on his way. Whoever had all five golden coins will live forever. If the bad Captain Garbish found the last golden coin, he will have everlasting life and kill anybody who blocks his way! Ken and Jill were on pins and needles in that frightening moment. Luckily, Ken and Jill had an idea to separate Captain Garbish and his four golden coins! Ken called the pirates to throw the ship’s rope to climb to the Garbish’s ship. After that, they tried to throw away one of Garbish’s coins. If the bad captain lost a coin, he will never have everlasting life! Although the weather was horrible, the pirates succeeded. Luckily, the last golden coin was found by the good pirate, Peter. He shouted, “Hey! If you all don’t want to die, surrender to us and give the four golden coins to me now!’’ And the Death Pearl pirates gave the four coins to Peter. When the war stopped, there was a big swirl in the sea again! The ocean looked very furious and wanted to swallow the two pirate ships in the middle of the sea! “We’re in really big trouble!’’ screamed the crew. “What should we do? Our ship is going to sink!” said Ken. “Hold on, everyone! We are going to have an exciting ride on our ship. Ha! Ha! Ha!” Captain Jackson shouted. Then, The Death Pearl hit the Ming Treasure, “Bang!” The swirl spun stronger and stronger and the waves also grew higher and higher. The Death Pearl took this opportunity to attack the Ming Treasure,
